Day eleven

I had my online meeting with a doctor from Occupational Health this morning. It was like a one hour doctor appointment. She is going to tell the Methodist Church that I’m not fit for work and possibly won’t be till after Christmas.

She thinks my symptoms don’t fit with the diagnosis. I also made another appointment with the GP. This one is for the 27th November. So on the 19th November I have an appointment to see if I have prostate cancer or an enlarged prostate and on the 27th I have an appointment to see if I can get referred to a specialist for my abdominal pain. It doesn’t seem to be a very efficient system - it’s all the same body. One appointment should cover me, not 2. But that means I will have an appointment the day before I’m due to start working again. This will be my 36th Christmas as a minister. I don’t really want to miss it, but I don’t think I have the energy to do it all this year.
